Saw employees taking down the official looking "store closing" banners last night. Thought that was odd. They had printed papers saying all sales final and checks no longer accepted though.

And if they really haven't been getting new shipments for months, the shelves are surprisingly well stocked for the most part.

That depends on the store. The stores that had already been announced to close prior to last week haven't gotten shipments in about a month. My local store was not on that list and received new product as recently as a week ago as they have copies of Kirby Star Allies on Switch.

That lawyer CNN has been quoting is full of it on pretty much everything, 60 days is a minimum probably and they still have to empty full distribution centers, what I saw in court docs said they expect to have those open for 8 weeks before they're empty.

No go in Columbia, MD. That said it was like Black Friday in there. The place was wrecked, 20+ people in line, and I'd say about 25% of stock already gone (the whole Shopkins aisle was wiped). Most likely people using up gift cards.

That is the one I always go to. Good to know and that sucks for people that went. It happens, some times you get lucky and other times you don’t.

If that's the one near the Dayton Mall I believe they've been scheduled to close since the first batch of closings were announced before it was announced every store would close. However, I went there like three or four weeks ago and there were no signs that it was closing.

The Beavercreek location with a Babies R Us was packed last weekend probably due to news of the impending closures so I'm worried about how packed they'll be when the actual sales start.

Further away but have you been to the Cincy/Kenwood location? Between access and interior, it makes Miamisburg look real good.

Yeah I was just at Kenwood the other day. You wouldn’t even know it was back there if not for the sign out on the main road. And the steps/ramp to get up into the store are pretty bad too lol. Ok I won’t be sad to see that one go either

the problem with that is the people in charge and their policys that have slowly ruined the business, saving them but keeping those people wont change things just a bailout, better off if their boughtout not saved and a new company (minus the current people in charge) take over and properly run things and fix alot of their old policeys and cs

I personally don't mind that the sales haven't started yet. I went to one from the original closing lists in Wayne, NJ and it was nearly picked clean. The good video games that were hidden behind a register barely dropped like a Galaxy Style N3DS XL for $180, Bomberman R for $30, Poi Explorer Edition for $18 and etc. Most of the store was 50-70% and I got a couple of the exclusive POPs and other Funko items. The 2 pack Skylanders of Crash and Neo was $10 and I couldn't say no to that. There was just SOOOOO many of them (100+)

Also went to the Totowa, NJ store and no sale started but I still picked up a Blue Yarn Yoshi and Pink Yarn Yoshi amiibo since they were the two I was missing since I already had the Green Yarn Yoshi, as well as a $3.50 Ghostbusters POP. I'm personally really waiting for the Razor A5 Lux scooter to drop to a decent price soon!

Both locations were filled with people for the first time in a long time. In the Wayne locations, people didn't care about prices whatsoever. They just threw things in the cart for shits and giggles and bought them. At Totowa, most people were buying a lot even though no discounts were active yet but mostly a lot of people going through nostalgia.

What really made me angry at our future was at the Wayne locations when a group of 5 kids, around age 5 or so, were complaining on why they were at TRU when there's Amazon to do it for you.

And of course, the real thing I'll miss from TRU is all of the screaming and crying from little kids across the whole store. It makes the environment feel natural.

P.S. The Wayne location is the store that hosted this video:

Well, enjoy your baseline 10% off discount most stuff (videogames fall here), with not much being 20 and 30% off. No Switch console or games are discounted at all, and it looks like no Lego discount. No coupons anymore, including rewards.

In short: you'll be waiting some for a good discount as everyone had assumed we would.
